The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Sisters Margo Flanagan and Rosa Power are the team behind Two Raw Sisters, and they've got a new recipe book out this week.
They published their first book seven years ago and they've written five earlier cookbooks - but this one promises to be different, with over 100 recipes you're gauranteed to turn into household staples.
The pair have built the brand out of utilising healthy food that makes you feel good and that fits in with your life, but How We Cook is being pitched as the 'Two Raw Sisters bible'.
"We wanted it to be the one that's always on your bench because you use it too much too much to put it away on your shelves...it's everything you need in one place."

Kiwi comedian and actor Josh Thomson is a regular presence on New Zealand's favourite comedy panel shows - and he's got a new TV project in the works.
He's also earned some international acclaim, including roles in shows like Pixar’s Win or Lose, The Office Australia, Young Rock and Time Bandits.
Good Bones is a dark comedy-mystery, and it's set to drop on ThreeNow and Neon on September 17.
"It's surreal, now, to be at this part of it - where Sky and TV3 are supporting us and trying to get it out there to as many people as we can."

Little Wonder by Sophie Chen Keller. Song’s son River is a musical prodigy and at the age of eleven he’s invited to study with a great master - but on the journey they become separated in the chaos of the Beijing railway station on the busiest day of the year. Over the following years, each in their own way tries to find their way back to the other as they both carve out new lives which only take them further apart. This is a really compelling story about a mother’s love, how we use our talents, and the enduring bonds of family.
The Farm by Bruce Ansley. Bruce is a Kiwi writer of real depth and charm, and this is his account of moving from an urban life to a more remote farm on the Banks Peninsula and encountering all the challenges of life in the country, especially when faced by a couple of townies. He writes with great warmth and wit and insight and this is a story to which many Kiwis could relate - either through their own living arrangements, or with a dream of life on the land, and then discovering the realities.
